Motion F5: the 'Semi-rugged' tablet

If your organization could use some tablet PCs for environments that are somewhat more demanding than your average office, you might want to look at Motion Computing's latest, the Motion F5 Mobile Field Tool. Though it looks a bit like a toy on the surface (gadget blog Gizmodo noted its similarity in design to the Speak N' Spell), this device and its dust, water, shock and temperature resistant chassis are built to take a beating. Inside the device you'll find a 10.4-inch XGA, stylus-friendly touchscreen display, 1.2Ghz Intel Centrino U1400 CPU, 40GB HDD or 32GB SSD, 2-megapixel camera, biometric scanner, WiFi, Bluetooth, RFID, EV-DO and optional barcode scanner. Of course, all those features aren't going to come cheap and the F5 starts at the not-so-low price of $2,699.
